What is the probability of having all the particles in only one of the two boxes in the case? Compare this with the similar probability for the system of four particles that we have derived to be equal to 18 . What does this comparison tell us about even larger systems?arrow_forward1. Cows on a farm sometimes end up eating little pieces of metal, like tacks or little scraps of barbed wire. These bits of metal end up stuck in the cow's stomachs, so they have to be removed by feeding the cow a magnetic pill called a "cow magnet." As it passes through the cow's digestive tract, the magnet picks up the little pieces of metal, and the cow ultimately passes it out, The AS for this process is POSITIVE / NEGATIVE / ZERO. The AH for this process is POSITIVE/NEGATIVE / ZERO. The AG for this process is POSITIVE / NEGATIVE / ZERO. When pieces of metal get stuck to the magnet, they INCREASE / DECREASE / DO NOT AFFECT its temperature.arrow_forwardAnswer Question 1 onlyarrow_forward
